WILLIAM RADFORD was born in Shelby County, Ky., September 11, 1833, of
parents William and Nancy Radford, natives of the same county and State.  William
Radford, Sr., was a son of George Radford, a Virginian, who married Catherine
Woodcock.  They moved to Shelby County, Ky., in an early day, and resided there
until their death.  He was a soldier of the Revolutionary war, and was the father of 
these children:  Jacob, Henry, Elizabeth, Richard, Mary and William.  William Radford,
father of our subject, was the youngest of these children, was born n 1809, and in
course of time married Nancy Pearcy, in Shelby County, Ky., who was born in 1806.
After marriage, they settled in that county, where he died in 1833.  She was subsequently
married to John Radcliff, and moved with her husband to this county in 1838.  Mrs.
Radcliff died in 1868, mother of two children--Mary, and William, our subject.
William Radcliff was married on November 31, 1854, to Elizabeth, a daughter of
Enoch S. and Sarah (Dugan) Tabor. She was born on March 18, 1838, in Nelson
County, Ky.  After marriage, the couple moved to Green Township, remained here 
until 1871, when they went to Martinsville, and there Mr. Radford opened a hardware
store.  He continued in that business for three years, and then returned to this township
where he has resided ever since.  They have had four children--John L., Mary (deceased),
Thomas B. and Frances.   Mr. Radford was elected Justice of the Peace in 1876, and has
retained that office until the present time.
